7th Heaven, Touched by an Angel, or Little House on the Prairie? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

7th Heaven is 1st and Touched by an Angel 2nd. Little House is a distant 3rd.

I liked all three shows, but I voted for LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE.

LITTLE HOUSE began two years after THE WALTONS (which I haven't seen)
and ran for nine seasons; TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL also ran for nine seasons;
and 7TH HEAVEN ran for ten seasons. All were good family dramas.

One could also add to the list these shows: HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN, DR.
QUINN MEDICINE WOMAN and the current LIFE IS WILD. Those are also good
shows for and about families.

I liked Little House on the Prairie. They stayed true to the premise. Did not watched Touched by An Angel and 7th Heaven wore its welcome out.

Here is another good family show and was underrated was Promised Land with Gerald McRaney. That was great show and was given a fair shake.

Little House!! I grew up watching the reruns and read the books. I never watched 7th Heaven and Touched by an Angel. I also happen to know LHOP's Grace Ingalls twins, Brenda and Wendi Turnbaugh, and am good friends with them - so I admit I'm a bit biased.

Little house Michael Landon was great on the show as were the others, eh touched by an angel was ok and I hated 7th heaven

friendsfan77 · 12-21-2007, 05:45 PM

I'm not a fan of any of them but maybe Little House on the Prairie. Touched by an Angel I thought was ok. I can't stand 7th Heaven and thought that really wore its welcome out.

PROMISED LAND was a good show. I'd forgotten about that one.

They are! They're two of the sweetest, most down-to-earth people you could imagine.

Little House, no doubt.

I grew up on the TBS reruns. My mother and alllll of her siblings were big fans during its original run, and somehow, me and all of my cousins got brought up on it too. We've always considered it an extension of "the stories" from daytime.

Even though I never saw the series, I remember reading one of the Little House books in grade school. Back then I was actually a pretty poor reader-way below average reading skills. A teacher who assisted children with LD problelms organized a group of students who were special cases. There were four of us and we met on Tuesdays and Thursdays before school during fifth grade. One of the books we read was a Little House book. The program did me some good because in sixth grade I started making the honor roll, got some of my best grades in reading and nowdays my reading skills are much higher than most people's. Not too bad for a kid who was considered a "special case" back in 1987.

^ That's such a sweet story, Mike.

The entire series is now on DVD, so you should check it out one of these days. Here are pictures of Brenda and Wendi, from their website (http://wendiandbrenda.com), then and now:
